Woman calls 911 when husband refuses to eat dinner

Prosecutors will review the case of a woman authorities claim has called 911 30 times over six months for non-emergency reasons, including a call to complain that her husband refused to eat his dinner. Last Friday, the woman allegedly made a pair of calls to 911, including a hang-up and another where a woman was heard screaming.
Police were dispatched to the residence and officer Paul Gonzales said police were told by her that "her husband did not want to eat his supper." A police report said the 53-year-old woman was also yelling "about things that happened two weeks ago."

The woman now faces charges of 911 abuse. Advertisement

Woman who has 300 orgasms a day finally meets Mr Right

A woman with a medical condition which causes her to have 300 orgasms a day has finally met the man of her dreams.

Michelle Thompson, who suffers from persistent sexual arousal syndrome, was just too demanding for all her previous lovers.

But she has finally found a man to keep her satisfied -- after she wore out a string of boyfriends.

Single mum Michelle, 43, has been dating her neighbour Andrew Carr, 32, for six months now -- because he is as keen as she is and they make love 10 times a day.

"Andrew has changed my life. I'm no longer looking for a cure for my orgasms -- I've found it," The News of the World quoted her as saying.

"Now I have a huge grin on my face all the time, and it's not just because of the orgasms," she said.

Healthy baby born in Germany to woman in coma

A 40-year-old woman who fell into a coma in the 13th week of her pregnancy delivered a healthy baby 22 weeks later in a Bavarian hospital, German broadcaster Bayerischer Rundfunk reported on Friday.

She suffered a heart attack and fell into a coma early in her pregnancy. The University Clinic in Erlangen said it was the first time that a woman in a persistent vegetative state was able to deliver a healthy baby, the broadcaster said.

The baby is now 1-1/2 years old, it said.

It quoted Matthias Beckmann, a director at the hospital, saying: "We wanted to keep the spectacular case secret for as long as possible to demonstrate that we're not experimenting on people and that the child is still healthy."

The hospital had no comment and it was not clear whether the mother remained in a coma or whether the baby had been delivered naturally or by caesarean section. Other German media reports said a news conference was scheduled for next Wednesday. Advertisement

Tunisian woman pregnant with 12 babies eclipses Nadia Suleman's octuplets

A Tunisian woman is reported to be about to eclipse the octuplets of the American mother Nadia Suleman after becoming pregnant with 12 babies.
The unnamed teacher and her husband are said to be ecstatic about the pregnancy, which was achieved with fertility treatment after they suffered two miscarriages. They are expecting six boys and six girls and the woman is thought to be as much as nine months' pregnant.

But fertility experts have condemned the news, alleging the doctors who treated the couple are "irresponsible" and risking the health and lives of the mother and her babies.

It is not known what fertility treatment the woman had, but her husband was quoted by local papers as saying they had been expecting twins.

She is said to now be looking forward to hugging her babies and, according to her husband, has been told she can give birth naturally although experts say this is impossible.

The man, who was named only as Marwan and is a teacher of Arabic at a high school in their home town of Gafsa, southwest of the capital Tunis, told a local journalist the news was an "amazing and wonderful miracle".

"In the beginning, we thought that my wife would give birth to twins, but more foetuses were discovered," he was quoted as saying.

"Our joy increased with the growing number."

But Simon Fisher, a fertility expert from the University of Oxford, said the news of the duodecaplets was "horrendous" and said the doctors involved were "irresponsible" to allow it.

He said the pregnancy could have been achieved either because the couple ignored the advice of doctors and had intercourse during their treatment, conceiving naturally as well as through IVF, or religious reasons required all the embryos to have been used rather than some being destroyed.

"Whatever the reasons behind this, the chances of there being a happy ending are pretty remote," he said.

"The chances of all of them surviving are extremely remote and the chance of some of them surviving without any problems is unlikely - they are likely to have significant problems.

"Her chances of surviving depend on how well she is monitored. It will be a tremendous strain on her even if she is young and fit. IVF is practised responsibly all over the world and no one should ever get into this situation."

Dr Mark Hamilton, of the British Fertility Society, said the woman probably had ovulation induction treatment, which sees the woman have either tablets or injections to cause her to release an egg to be fertilised.

"Twelve babies seems extraordinary," said Dr Hamilton. "The woman could have been receiving ovulation induction treatment, which stimulates egg production. You don't have the same control as with IVF."

No one is thought to have ever given birth to 12 babies before.

In January, American Nadya Suleman gave birth to the world's longest surviving octuplets, conceived through IVF.

In May, a 29-year-old British woman, Nuala Conway, gave birth to the country's first sextuplets for a quarter of a century. One girl of the four girls and two boys, died last month.

In 1996, another Briton, Mandy Allwood, became pregnant with octuplets after taking fertility drugs.

She was offered the chance to terminate some of the foetuses to give the others a chance of survival but declined. The octuplets - six boys and two girls - were born over a period of three days and all died within an hour. Advertisement
